Welcome back!

You definitely wont lose that in the grass They look great!

Why not just pour some resolene in a separate container instead of dipping out of the bottle, this way you don't contaminate your unused resolene?

It's difficult finding Camel leather because most searches are bringing back camel as a color. What I found so far in The Netherlands. https://www.artnamic.com/leathers/full-grain-camel-leather/ UAE https://akl.ae/market/

The four pencil grips came in and I eliminated the first 2 immediately. #1 was to narrow #2 was to narrow and weird #3 & 4 have holes that are to big for small stamps but they still show promise. They are both a dense foam but softer than holding the metal stamp. #3 I cut a wedge out so it could hold my thinest stamp. I could use grip strength to hold it onto the stamp but any time I lightened my grip the stamp would slide out so I temporarily put a piece of electrical tape and this worked great. I can also slide the stamp out and use it on another stamp thats the same diameter. #4 is pretty long so I cut it in half. It comes with a slit down the side so it works well with stamps the diameter of a pencil or thicker. If you use it on thin stamps you would need to cut a wedge like I did with #3. The difference between #3 & #4 is the thickness of the foam grip and that would be personal preference. With both grips if you slide them down to far it's hard to see where you're stamping. With #3 since it's tapered this is less of a problem. With #4 you can carve down the thickness. I'll be using both of these for stamping for the time being.

I think the yellow (by my screen) thread compliments the purple hues in the cardholder. It stands out in a good way. Sometimes people try to minimize the stitching in a project but I tend to make it part of the project, when appropriate.

Very nice, love the color!

For anyone needing a translation Hello! I work with restorations of old machines and recently acquired an old part, but I would like to know which machine this foot is from? If anyone can help me I would be very grateful

I totally forgot about this post so here's a little follow up. I went with Square. They now intergrate with woocommerce so I can better intergrate with my website. To add products to your POS device you got to their admin website and input all the information then it downloads it via the web to your device automatically. I use the hand held terminal, it lets me go on the road and it prints receipts. If I happen to be in an area without internet connection it store the info in the device until it gets connected.

Looks great!

I used to be a mod on a forum that had 250+k members and I know there is a lot going on in the background. I did a little forum maintenance and I don't envy you this task. Once the bones are fixed would it be possible to have a choice of backgrounds in the settings menu for those that like the classic view and those that like a modern look? Thanks and keep up the great work!

There is a thread why this is all happening. In summary the website was hacked Fri and they're trying to get everything working properly, aesthetics are the least of their worries right now.

Welcome to the forum!

They sell them in different materials like rubber, foam, silicon, etc. I figure if the hole is to small you could either drill through the hole to make it bigger or slice it the long way so it acts as a clamp. I just ordered four different types and I'll test them out. I did this with blue tape. Another issue with gluing is you have to do it to several stamps. So I'm going test out the ones I ordered and see if you can just take them off easily.

I wonder if a pencil grip would work.

I agree with just making one stamp with the info you need. I used leatherstampmaker.com to make my logo stamp and it works great. I think it was like $70, but it's been awhile so I dont recall exactly.

Looks great. You may want to try burnishing your edges, it'll give it a sleekery look.

Can you post a picture of the jar or name on the jar?

Ok, thanks for that. So I need to make the billet side tongue longer so it's about 1/2" shorter than the tip of the billet. Add a keeper for the billet and a keeper for the extra tongue length to stablize the whole belt. This helps a lot. Thanks!

Welcome back It looks great!

The type of leather really depends on a few factors. Chrome tan is a softer material so if you want your bag to to stand up right you would need to add a stiffener to the inside. Chrome tan comes dyed and there are a lot of colors to choose from. You would have to buy multiple pieces if you want more than one color. Veg tan comes in various animals: cow, deer, pig, sheep to name a few. Colors are usually natural, black, or various shades of browns. If you dye your own colors you can buy one piece of leather and dye it the colors you need The amount you need will depend on the size of the bag. It's best to make a pattern so you can get a rough idea of the square footage you need. It's best to get extra for when you cut incorrectly, and you will

Thanks for the critique. I'm not quite sure about the terminology so I'm a little confused. When you say back belt piece are you referring to the billet or buckle or another part? Which part is the tongue? I made a keeper but the buckle end was to short after stitching so it won't fit between the buckle and the stitching properly. I'll correct that in the next build. I just looked up John Bianchi and the dvd looked familiar. I bought a collection of things for someone here when I first came to the boards and John Bianchi's western holster making dvds were a part of it. They were still in my boxes from when I moved to TN. I'll be watching those!

Thanks all. For the patterns I used Al Stohlman's "How to make holsters" and the machine was the Cobra Class 4. I've stitched holsters in the past by hand but my hands don't want to do that anymore. I made a gun belt for my Outlaw in the past and with the loops filled it was heavy. Now I have the Ruger so it's going to be a little heavier but now it's a little more balanced.

Made with W&C 10oz tooling leather. Primary pistol is a Cimarron/Uberti 1875 Outlaw, 7.5" barrel, .45 Colt. Cross draw is a my father's Ruger New Model single six, 5.5" barrel, .22LR

Looks great!
